Texas law also applies to minors and their parents.
Minors cannot buy, use, or possess tobacco. The only exceptions are that a minor may possess tobacco in the presence of an adult parent, guardian, or spouse, or in the presence of an employer if possession of the product is required in the performance of his or her duties as an employee.
Minors who violate the tobacco law can be fined up to $250 and required to attend a tobacco awareness program or participate in a tobacco-related community service. Parents of a minor convicted of a violation may be required to attend the tobacco awareness program with their child.
A minor's driver license can be suspended or denied if the minor is convicted of a violation of the tobacco law and does not attend a tobacco awareness program or perform tobacco-related community service.
